Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The 2026 setup is mixed: he sits second on the Pittsburgh chart behind DK Metcalf, with Aaron Rodgers under center, but a low 4 percent target share leaves him reliant on a usage jump to matter weekly. He is a late-round dart and dynasty stash with real big-play juice, but until the target volume climbs he is a bench piece, not a startable flex in redraft. Behind him on the depth chart: Kaden Wetjen. Full outlook

Roman Wilson Rest-of-Season Outlook
WR1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR122 last season at 3.0 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 4 games he's WR2 at 11.2 PPR points per game, against 3.0 over 13 games last season (WR122). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 113th of 142 in target volume (4.0% target share), 93rd of 142 in downfield role (8.4% air-yards share) and 102nd of 142 in efficiency (1.08 yards per route run). Target volume is the soft spot. Aaron Rodgers is his quarterback.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Kaden Wetjen is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchup is the Colts in Week 5 (9th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Wilson's first real action came in 2025: nine games, a modest 33.1 percent snap share, 154 routes, and 21 targets converted into 12 catches for 166 yards and two scores, good for 26.6 points and a WR127 finish. The efficiency was intriguing despite the thin volume, a 0.194 EPA per play, 1.08 yards per route, 13.19 air yards per target, and three catches of 20-plus including a 45-yard long, hinting at the field-stretching role the 2024 third-rounder (pick 84, Michigan) was drafted to fill. Availability remains the flag, with just seven games per year over two seasons.
The 2026 setup is mixed: he sits second on the Pittsburgh chart behind DK Metcalf, with Aaron Rodgers under center, but a low 4 percent target share leaves him reliant on a usage jump to matter weekly. He is a late-round dart and dynasty stash with real big-play juice, but until the target volume climbs he is a bench piece, not a startable flex in redraft.

Hamstring 10 games
Placed on the Reserve/Injured List with a hamstring injury on October 28, which effectively ended his rookie season.
- 2024
High Ankle Sprain 5 games
Sustained a high ankle sprain during the first padded practice of training camp, causing him to miss the remainder of camp, the preseason, and the first five regular season games.
If Wilson Misses Time
Next man up: Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen is next on the Steelers depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Wilson misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Aaron Rodgers would lose one of his main options.
